• Jamalco win open league

Former champions Jamalco back the title as Clarendon champions when they clipped defending champions Windalco 40-39 to take the Jamalco Open Netball title in the final played at the Mineral Heights Sports Complex last weekend.

The $40,000 first prize appeared not important as the bragging rights in a match that featured the top two rural teams at any level. The game needed extra time of 10 minutes after the two were locked at 33-33 all at the end of two halves.

Windalco had initially held the upper hand at the end of the first half when they took a 20-16 lead. Veteran goal shooter Elaine Davis, however, was in fine form throughout, tipping the scales Jamalco's way at crucial times to finish with a top score of 33 from 38 attempts. Her captain Marsha Murphy was a vital partner in sinking eight from 10 tries.

Annakay Griffiths tried hard for the losers with a good effort of 25 from 27 while Emeilia Cummings supportive effort of 14 from 19 fell just short.

The Mico University, one of four new teams in the competition this season, grabbed the third place with a 39-24 win over Holmwood B. Shauna Carradice was the best performer with 30 from 37 while her teammate Vanessa Walker, a national player, scored nine from 11. Denene Taylor, a National Under 21 player, scored most for the losers getting 19 from 27.

• Church United lead

The exciting Church United team made it two wins in as many matches after an exciting 3-2 win over Contrivance in last weekend's round.

Daniel Richards with two goals and the game winner by Fabian Stephenson staved off a spirited attempt by the Contrivance team that had earlier suffered a 1-0 loss to Roose Madrid. Church United were conceding their first goals after going on a 10-0 rout of Chantilly in their opening Zone I match.

Earlier, there was huge disappointment for the massive crowd that turned up as Cumberland were no-shows for their scheduled game against George North.

Tomorrow's feature game at Cobbla is a clash between Spring Village and West Road, who both won handsomely in their opening game against Spaldings. Chantilly will entertain Roose Madrid.

The Cobbla Summer Football League is organised by the Cobbla New Testament Church of God.

• Georges Valley, Porus in U-17 final

Georges Valley defeated champions Mile Gully 2-1 while Porus ran away 5-1 winners over Settlement to book spots in the Power Services sponsored Manchester Under 17 tournament.

Both games were played at Brook's Park on Wednesday as the facility hosted the second game, under lights.

Mile Gully have won the tournament every time since their inauguration three years ago and their clash with Georges Valley was anticipated at Brook's Park. The two sides also featured two of the parish's senior coaches and rivals at the daCosta Cup level in Baron Watson for Mile Gully/Manchester High and Tony Peart (Georges Valley and Belair).

The champions were stunned early with a strike from Okeen Blanford. Recardo Hamilton made it 2-0 in 66th minute of a game limited to 80 minutes of regulation time. However, Mile Gully earned a consolation when Roshane Davis scored from the penalty spot after Shade Thomas had handled a ball as he tried to clear.

• Clarendon summer league

Defending champions Sunset will seek to finally kick off their campaign in this year's Jamalco-sponsored Clarendon Summer Football league when they take on Hunts Pen at Wembley tomorrow. The champions pocketed three points but were denied actual play on the field when the competition got under way earlier this month when Harmons failed to show.

Much anticipation will surround the matchup between New Bowens and Juventus at Vere Technical tomorrow. New Bowens sent an early signal opening the 2010 season with a 11-nil thrashing of South Manchester at the competition launch.

Today, Invincible will play Rail Road at Vere while Top Hill entertain Harmons at Wembley.

In last weekend's matches: Savannah and Juventus drew 1-1, Top Halse Hall and Port ended 1-1, Top Hill beat Mocho 2-1 and Bottom Halse Hall got the better of Hunts Pen 1-0.

Peter Brown and Richard Allen scored twice while seven other players scored one goal each. Another Manchester-based team, Harmons, failed to show for their game against defending champions Sunset, and were penalised with a 3-0 loss.

The day turned to be a great one for New Bowens who earlier won the dress parade. In two other matches played last weekend, Wembley and Raymond drew 1-1 while Napoli and Mineral Heights also ended 1-1.

• Faith Temple, Old Harbour go for glory

New champions will be crowned in this morning's final of the Power of Faith Ministries Church Twenty/20 Cricket League as last year's beaten finalists, Faith Temple New Testament, challenge Old Harbour New Testament at the Lime Tree Oval in St Catherine, match time 10 a.m.

In last Saturday's semi-final, Faith Temple ousted defending champs Power of Faith Seniors with a nine-run victory. In the second semi-final, Old Harbour New Testament crushed Braeton New Testament by 10 wickets.

Faith Temple are favourites to take their first lien on the Dr Delford Davis trophy for Excellency but Old Harbour are capable of springing a surprise. The two finalists met in a Zone two preliminary round match, which ended abruptly because of rain.

• Two teams chase one spot

Two teams, fourth-place Clifton (nine points), and fifth-place Passagefort United (seven), are gunning for the final semi-final spot in the Senator Arthur Williams-sponsored Portmore Under-15 football League.
